Thermal Fuse and Whirlpool Dryers Repair or Toss
Comments (3)Thanks When he replaced the thermal fuse 6 months ago he also replaced part of the hose, said the new one was better than what we had and we removed the basket on the outside to let more air in. The bend is a soft one, no hard angles. Nothing is being crushed. The main problem seems to be that the hole in the wall for the vent was too low but since we have an old brick house, we do not want to drill another one. As for the temp control, we got an estimate on the part with our prior dryer, something having to do with temp regulation but it would have been about 280 a few years ago to replace the part, just for the part. The fuses then were around 7. Now for this one they are 17 with tax. This is for the part. DH used to replace the fuses and it was simple but it got tedious after a while. Plus the old dryer would break just as I needed something dried and DH was not home. I have a houseful of people so not sure if that makes a difference. I am tempted to get a speed queen or perhaps look into what they have in laundromats. Perhaps just get something that is not a whirlpool. Our old Kenmore/Whirlpool Washer had a plastic part on the bottom where the wash basket sat. It would break once a year. It was simply a design defect. I bought a TL without an agitator from another brand, problem solved! Although I am sure there will be new problems. Maybe the Whirlpool thermal regulator does not work well with my house?!...See MoreQuestion About Installation Charges for Our Crown Moulding
Comments (17)We had a similar situation a couple years ago when we hired my brother's friend and co-worker to build us a fairly complicated set of stairs/small deck. We chose materials (Ipe wood decking/vinyl railing) that the builder (who does this as a side job) had never used. There was a definite learning curve involved to using these materials. DH is an engineer and provided elaborate working plans, so I think the builder thought it would be easier to accomplish than it was. It took him forever, and we could tell he was getting really frustrated. However, he was a really nice guy and we totally trusted him to be at our house when we weren't around. He also hooked us up with the most fabulous stone worker who later installed the patio. When it was done we were embarrassed to pay him what he originally quoted us. DH and I decided to throw in a couple extra hundred dollars for his troubles. I also took lots of great photos of the finished work, both before and after the patio and landscaping were installed, and put it all on a disc for him. He was really thrilled with this, because he was building a website and these photos really showcased his work. Even though we didn't end up paying him what the job would have cost if he was more experienced and priced it correctly, we did acknowledge his efforts by giving him extra. I think it worked out well for both of us--he gained experience that will pay off down the road and we have a beautiful structure that another contractor wouldn't have considered building without a premium charge. The trade off for us was that it took forever to have it built--in fact we lost most of the useable summer season waiting for it. Most importantly, this guy is a member of the community we live in. He lives down the road from us and we bump into him all the time. We always have a friendly chat when we meet. I've learned that developing and nurturing positive relationships with the people in our communities/lives is always worth it! You never know when/how your paths might cross again. I like the idea of a gift certificate for your neighbor, and would add some pictures of the finished job so he can use them to build his business. BTW, Val, I think you have done the most spectacular job remodeling your home--both inside and out. I am amazed at your energy and patience! Hopefully it will all end soon so you can sit back and enjoy it all!...See MoreT-H1 Tankless Overheat Cut-off fuse
Comments (4)Yes, I called Takagi today. The fuse only cost $19 plus $6 for shipping. They are going to mail me the instruction too. I am going to do it myself. Thanks everyone,...See MoreKnob and Tube � are these ganged fuses or fused neutrals?
Comments (4)The last guy couldn't figure it out either, that's why there's a subpanel - he left the old service in place because he was confused to heck. Find the smallest-value fuses you can. Replace all of them with that. 12.5A isn't a normal common value anymore, so I'm going to bet that one is the oldest. You should probably try to find more 12.5's and use them in all of the spaces. The problem you're going to find with your incremental replacement is that all of those circuits are going to tie into each other in ways that make no sense to you. A 'hot' wire is going to go up in the wall in one room but the neutral to the same circuit is going to be going the opposite direction in a totally different room. You're going to run a new circuit to one room and when you're pretty sure you're done with all of the k&t wire that goes to the old circuit you're very sure you followed, you're going to unhook that wire and three things you thought were completely unrelated are going to stop working. Been there. Done that. I enjoy the challenge, because this is a bit of a hobby to me - and the history of it is as interesting to me as the work, but if you're a "normal" person with a real life... I feel for you....See Morebillscha1
